The Battle cry!

Lets talk. Its time to be real. Its a beautiful time in life to be a teen but its also one of the hardest. There are so many struggles going on and I believe we are at war. War with right and wrong, Fleshly desires and the Spirit! We are overcomers in Christ! Lets open up and get past the shallow and into the deep. I dare you to live a life of purity and to stop flirting with worldly lusts! Stand strong! Stand firm! Stand for something that will make a difference! Its a fight...But are you willing to prepare for it and defeat it?

He is writing your story. Will you follow the pages?

Growing up I always knew I wanted to do something out of the ordinary. I never doubted that whatever I chose to do would take me to all kinds of places and meeting loads of people. I used to stare out my window as a young girl and look at the stars and say to God: 'God there is a whole big world out there, where should I go, what should I do?' growing up with parents who would take us on roadtrips all over the U.S. From the Nations Capitoal to L.A. We would travel. We would go through mountains and valleys and flat lands to Galciers and Volcanoes to the SouthWEst to the South East. You name it, I've probabaly been there. I remember always having chrisitan music blaring in the car as I would stare out the window looking at all kinds of beautiful creation of the United States. At the time I always would tell my parents, 'I just want to be at the beach...I dont care about seeing the mountains and all these national parks' haha. But as I got older I realized how amazing of an experience that was to get to see all that I've seen and I can honestly say that America is truly beautiful from 'Sea to shining Sea'. I hold my parents completely responsible for my Patriotic spirit and deep love for America. I see how God has taken so much of my past and has actually been shaping me and molding me for such a time as this! Since surrendering my life to God, I have been beyond blessed and gotten to go to so many places and meet so many neat people and its only been 5 years since fully surrendering. My dear sweet friends let me tell you what a beautiful experience and a tremendous adventure it has been serving the creator of th universe. Don't wait. Don't hesitate. Just jump in. So what if it doesn't make sense now, sometimes God is just saying: 'Trust Me' Do you trust him? Let me tell you, nothing and I mean nothing compares to seeing a life changed and to living a life so purposed to reach out to those in need and who are hurting and in need of a Savior and in need of some love! In the past few days I've run into several people who have told me they have an itch to serve God and leave everything behind but each of them have expresed how scared they are to just do it and how they have their own life mapped out. I ask them how thats working out for them? They say: "Its Ok." OK?? Is that all your settling for in life? Sometimes we need to be more like Peter and just jump out of the boat and stop sitting on the edge looking at the problesm around us and the storms and just look at Jesus and start walking on water. You can trust Jesus will not drop you and He has plans for your life that will BLOW YOUR MIND. If ony you'll let him. Matt: 14:22-33 God is writing your story. Will you continue to follow the pages of His ink or will you pick up a different book and lose choose your own dreams over His? I am almost certain you will be left unsatisfied if you choose your own path and choose to write your own pages. But fulfillment in surrender will take you places you could only dream of and make it a reality. I pray God gives you courage in this season of life, courage to have faith enough to do something radical for Him.
